Presenter: Deann O'Lenick, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
There’s nothing about being nonverbal or having limited verbal language that dictates the language capabilities. This presentation will focus on building language through an alternative symbol system. Language developmental milestones for verbal language will be applied to an augmentative communication system- speech generating device and low-tech communication board. First language learning theory, second-language theory, and Dual-Symbol Immersion theory will be applied.
